Utah’s second largest wildfire will keep burning in the Uintas for weeks

While 2020 will go down as a banner year for human-caused fires in Utah, the state’s largest fires by far were sparked by lightning in remote places and subsequently whipped up by big winds.The second largest has been burning for a month in the Ashley National Forest and full containment is still weeks away. The East Fork Fire started Aug. 21 in the High Uintas Wilderness and has since burned 60,000 acres of bone dry forest, filled with standing beetle-killed conifers about 15 miles north
